Capt. Robert was a nice enough guy, but he is not really a local to the St.Marks area where he took us. He spoke a lot of his experience in the Crystal River/ Homasassa areas.

In all fairness, the docks seemed pretty dry also. I...

Great day scalloping with Captain Robert. Very friendly and personable. Being a local to the area, Robert was very knowledgeable of the waters and even provided recommendations of things to see, eat and drink in the nearby communities. Robert also helped shuck our scallops. I look forward to scalloping and fishing with Robert again!
